Good thing they don't have anything better to do than attack people playing a game

u know, it is so fn ridiculous that adults cant do what they want with their own money. most of us play low buy-in games....we are not gambling away our mortgage payments! :mad:

personally, I miss my friends from Washington who used to play small-stake private tourneys with me on FTP and pokerstars.

unfortunately, when you dont have that common interest to unite you, you lose contact with them altogether.

it sucks

So wait. They just seized actual players' money? Or assets of the banks and/or poker sites?

Yeah, except that there's no way it will be used in a responsible, unwasteful manner.

Their mission: to make people play at Washington brick-and-mortar casinos and not online. Surprise: just a few days ago Washington state approved the building of the state's largest planned casino just across the border from Portland, Oregon. What disingenuous bastards.

I agree. The casino they just approved is about 20 minutes from my house but I can't play a $1 tournament online. What a joke.

I can't play on fulltilt or stars but other sites I can still play on, for now.

Ugh. This must be why an email I received from Full Tilt recently explained that payouts to Washington players are currently "logistically difficult." They promised to send a check instead of the electronic funds transfer originally arranged about six weeks ago, so we'll see....

:(
